Win XP home, NOD32 3.0.650.0 antivirus. I got infected with Win32/Alman.NAB
virus. My antivirus show some executable files where infected, aalso when
browse web with Internet Explorer, windows periodically popup error mesages
called RUNDLL:
"Error loading C:\Windows\AppPatch\Jview.dll
The specified module could not be found."
(I use Firefox by default).

After running whole computer scan, NOD32 isolated the infected files in a
Quarantine folder. I removed the Jview.dll
As far I know, Win32/Alman.NAD is infector, downloader and it has got his
own driver. If it sit inside some legit process (IE), then it will add new
registry key again. Then removing will be harder.
Then I run HijackThis utility, and got the following report, I looked
through the logfile, but I'm not sure which processess and keys are
legitimate.

First off do NOT post HJT logs to Usenet in general or the Microsoft hierarchy
in
partcular. If you had bothered to ask, you would have been told this and you
would have
been provided with a list of trusted expert forums where HJT logs are allowed
and
encoraged.

Secondly, it is NOT the number of running copies of SVCHOST.EXE that is
important. Having
4 ~ 8 running copies of SVCHOST.EXE can be considered normal. What is important
is the
fully qualified path. SVCHOST.EXE running from %windir%\system32 is legitimate.
SVCHOST.EXE running from a location such as; %windir% or C:\Program
Files\Common
Files\System are illegitimate locations and are most likely malware.



1. Download and execute HiJack This! (HJT)

This forums are absolutely useless, same as most of mentioned tolls like
Deckard's System Scanner, etc, etc. This "tools" just litter registry
settings and are are ineffective and useless.
Windows has "malicious software removal tool" but itts also absolutely
useless thing, and not working at all..

The tools are NOT useless. Somone with skills or training can interpret if you
are
infected via the system load points. You don't have those skills thus you came
to a faux
conclusion.

The forums are not useless as well. The forums have personnel who have the
skills to
interpret the logs of the tools. Again a faux conclusion.

The MRT is an "on Demand' anti malware scanner and is geared to a limited list
of malware.
While not the best of anti malware On Demand scanners, it does have a level of
efficacy
and capability and is far from useless. The fact that you don't have malware
targeted by
the MRT should not lead you to the faux conclusion "absolutely useless thing".

I'm sorry but you asked for assistance and I gave you assistance. It was bad
enough that
you posted a HJT log without asking first but the additional claims of
"uselessness" based
upon your limited skill sets means you are unwilling to take appropriate action.
This is
unfortunate.

Plaese tear down that brick wall you have created in your mind!
